Questioner: You mentioned that if you have intimate sexual
relationships with different people, it can mess up your energies. I find myself in such a situation. I left one relationship and now I am in another one, but I feel guilty and confused about it.
Sadhguru: Whatever guilt and confusion you feel is in your mind.
That can happen to you anyway, even without any physical contact. What I was referring to in this context was runanubandha, which is a certain kind of physical memory. The body has its own memory. Today, there is a lot of scientific research to prove some of these things. Let us say for example, your father, when he was a child, liked to play with round objects, round pebbles, and things like that, and he developed a certain level of involvement with them. As his child, without knowing why, you will tend to choose similar things. It is proven that these repetitions happen. This is simply because you carry a certain genetic material. ACTION – ENTANGLING OR LIBERATING? – SADHGURU ON THE WORKINGS OF KARMA AND KRIYA
Q: How do we know if by whatever action we perform, we dissolve
karma or create new karma?
Sadhguru: The word karma evokes different types of
understandings in people’s minds. Karma means action. Action is on many different levels. There is physical action, mental action, emotional action, energy action – these are all forms of actions which we can call karma. If the action sinks deeper than these four dimensions, we call it kriya. Kriya and karma both mean action, but karma is that kind of action which will leave residual impact upon the system; that means, the memory or chemistry of that action remains. Kriya is a type of action which imprints itself on a completely different dimension and begins to dismantle the karmic impact or karmic residue that has accumulated in the karmic impact or karmic residue that has accumulated in the system.
HOW TO REDUCE YOUR KARMIC LOAD –
SADHGURU ON THE MAYA OF THE ‘MANY’
Q: I’ve been reading what you said about karma, and I am
wondering if the only way to get rid of karma is through an enlightened being’s grace…?
Sadhguru: Every moment of your life, whatever you do, whatever
you do not do, your karma is dissolving – you do not have to do anything about it. The very life process is dissolution of karma. You have a certain amount of allotted karma, which we refer to as prarabdha. The prarabdha is working itself out. The problem is, the dissolution can only happen at a certain pace but the karma production factory is working overtime, so karma is being piled up rapidly. If you look at a standard day in your life, from the moment of waking till you go to sleep, how much activity you actually do, simply working, and how much you think up things – what you think up could be 50 times more than what you do. I am being very conservative. So, you are producing 50 times more karma than you can work out. It is just like calories. Let’s say you are burning 600 calories but you are eating 6000 calories – it has to pile up somewhere. BACK TO THE BIG BANG – SADHGURU ON OUR KARMIC SUBSTANCE
Q: Sadhguru, what is our karma actually made of, and what part do our ancestors have in it?
Sadhguru: One way of looking at karma is, it is a residual memory
of various things that have happened to this body, that have happened to this mind, that have happened to this emotion and energy – it is a residual memory of various situations that have occurred. There is a large part of you which has lived much, much longer than you as a person have existed. You don’t have to go into it in terms of reincarnation. If you just go by modern terminology, when they say ‘genetics,’ it undeniably means, your parents are still living through you.
